AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Moe Tossing Barney Out' meme consists of a sequence of images from the animated series The Simpsons. In this meme template, Moe, a bar owner, is shown ejecting Barney, a regular patron, from his tavern. The comic twist in the meme comes immediately after when Barney inexplicably reappears sitting behind Moe as if nothing had happened. This template cleverly portrays the ironic return of a previously removed problem.
OriginWho did it first?
This meme originates from the March 12th, 2006 episode of The Simpsons titled 'The Seemingly Never-Ending Story', available in the online episode guide. A scene features Moe forcefully expelling Barney from Moe's Tavern only for Barney to reappear almost instantly behind him. Watch the scene on YouTube. The meme was first adapted from this scene into an image macro by Mr. Sparkle on KnowYourMeme on June 30th, 2012.[1]
